HTC has finally released a new phone: the Desire 22 Pro is the latest offering from the legendary Taiwanese manufacturer that has shifted its focus to virtual reality in recent years. Desire 22 Pro is a mid-range phone with a 6.6-inch 120Hz LCD display, Snapdragon 695 chipset and 4,520mAh battery. It is compatible with HTC’s Viverse ecosystem and HTC VR products such as the HTC Vive Flow headset.
Compatibility with Viverse is the main selling point here, allowing you to access virtual content from the Metaverse via your phone and a connected HTC VR headset. HTC is also bringing its Viverse Wallet to help you manage digital assets like cryptocurrencies and NFTs right from your phone.
